The girl hiding behind the orange and black striped glasses

Your POV:

     I glanced around the cafeteria before noticing Garroth, Vlyad, and Zane. They were sitting with all the other boys, chatting happily. Vlyad looked up to see me and waved me over. I sighed inwardly and walked over. Vlyad smiled and made room so I could sit next to him.                               "Good job with the music video (Y/n)!!! I didn't know you could act so well!" He stated.                     "Yeah (Y/n)!!! And you looked pretty cute in the outfit too~" Laurence added, winking.                       "Gross Laurence. Your almost as bad as Garroth!" Zane stated, eating a cupcake. I gave a small nod before grabbing my lunch. I began eating quietly as everyone began talking. 

     A couple minutes later, Dante and Travis walked over. Travis had a bloody nose and was holding his hand. They both were covered in bruises. They sat down far away from me.                     "Woah... What happened to you guys? You look like Katelyn just beat you up!" Garroth stated.       "It wasn't Katelyn, Garroth..." Travis said glumly, glancing at me. I continued eating quietly.           "Then who was it Travis? Dante?" Vlyad asked. I glanced up to see them both look at me.                 "It was (Y/n)!!!! Who knew she was so strong!!! It was so freaky!" Dante exclaimed loudly. Everyone at the table looked at me in astonishment as I blushed in embarrassment.                          "It was self defence! They scared me! It's creepy when hands grab you when you are walking and drag you into an empty classroom!" I replied quietly, making everyone look back at the two.  "I guess that would be freaky.... I didn't think about it that way..." They replied, making the other boys sweat drop. I sighed and continued eating, avoiding making eye contact.                         "It's not that bad. Aaron always throws people out the window when he gets mad." Zane grumbled, making Aaron growl slightly. Laurence chuckled and gave Aaron a playful push.             "Cool it Aaron. We are all friends here. Now, what do you guys think we will be doing at free period?" He asked. Aaron growled again and continued eating. Zane and Vlyad shrugged.               "Maybe start choosing songs and practising them for the competition?" Dante suggested.               "That would be fun! Maybe we could see who work better together then others!" Travis added. I zoned out and continued eating until the bell rang. Great... Now I have art... I sighed inwardly and put my lunch away before walking to art class.

     After art class I walked back towards music. Dante was talking with Travis while holding a book, Laurence was talking with Garroth, Aaron was playing the guitar, Zane was eating a cupcake, and Vlyad was reading. I sat down in my desk and put my headphones on, listening to a random song.

     Ms. Pink walked in after a couple minutes and clapped her hands, gaining everyone's attention. I paused my music and took my headphones off, looking up at Ms. Pink.                             "Today we will be working together and singing duets. Since (Y/n) is the only girl, she will sing a song with everyone. You may play music or use a song on your phone. First up is Dante and (Y/n)." Ms. Pink stated. Dante glanced at me worriedly but stood up and walked to the front. I took a deep breath before standing up, walking towards Dante and Ms. Pink. I fiddled with my sleeves nervously and avoided looked at Dante. All of the boy's eyes were on me.                                 "What song do you want to do (Y/n)?" He asked quietly. I looked up at Dante nervously. He was about a head taller then me, making me feel really small. I thought of songs I know.                           "How about 'Sad Song' by We the Kings?" I asked quietly. He nodded and I hooked my phone up to the speaker. Ms. Pink handed us both a mic and I took a deep breath, avoiding any eye contact. Dante gave me a encouraging smile before the music began.
